It's unlikely that it's just one or two people doing all the downvoting. It's obvious from the comments you've gotten that many people find your questions be rambling and hard to decipher, and they'v …

I would guess you've forgotten the exact phrase you're looking for. googling vgv8 "Edit3 in original post" site:serverfault.com seems to work fine.

I think two clicks to get favourites is fine. I'm not sure what else - if anything - I'd put on the top bar, but I'd rather keep it as uncluttered as possible for as long as possible.

I didn't realize I'd have to go back 10 pages on the blog to find this post again: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/stack-overflow-homepage-changes/ I guess they are still deciding whether to r …

I always hated the "rg" tags. Most of the time you'd see that on a tag, the company had no product with any possible connection to the tag or the question.

I'm pretty sure this has come up on meta.SO and not gotten anywhere... I think the official position is that other than tag filtering, everyone sees every question. e.g. Filter questions by user rep …

(I mostly do close and reopen reviews, so the following opinion is limited to those queues.) To answer TheCleaner's question in a comment: closed questions that are at -1 (or less, but -1 is enough) …

I think the official answer is that if there are more edits needed, you should make them yourself. If the suggested edit fixes one problem, but there are a few other things you can improve, you shoul …

5 custom close reasons is the max allowed. Although some of the current reasons overlap a bit, they all come up often enough that I wouldn't choose to get rid of them. I think the "Questions seeking …

This came up recently in the context of a question that many (including me) thought was an acceptable homework/learning question. Despite what it says in the FAQ, I think the consensus is that if it' …

A couple other options: If the question gets closed, you can then cast a re-open vote. If you think a question was closed in error (maybe your vote led to a pile-on of close votes...) you can flag …

I don't see this as a big problem right now, most days the number of questions in the close vote review queue goes to zero. Today, at 30+ questions, it's the highest I've seen it in a long time. On …

This question seems to be largely a duplicate of: Will/Should Serverfault be dropping the "networking support" in the upcoming future? The takeaway from that earlier discussion is that the way NE is …

I havne't thought this point of view through, it's just a preliminary idea... I think there can be good shopping questions, just like there can be good subjective questions. I'd be quite happy to ha …
